CHP Bike, more new gear, 3 days left.

Friday…counting down, 3 days to go before I leave. Today I picked up a lot of gear. I bought an adventure touring suit from Moto Forza up in Escondido…A RevIt Cayenne Pro jacket and pants. I also got a set of RevIt gloves. I’ll have to post some pics of this gear and a review soon. It’s really nice stuff.

I took my bike up to BMW MC North County to have a factory campaign done on it. They gave me an old R1150RT CHP loaner bike…a pretty nice machine. The power adjustable windscreen is nice, and can be adjusted while moving. Finally I found a bike that can get air up over my head when I sit up straight. But I noticed that made my back cold and created some sort of negative air pressure that pushed on me from behind. The R1150RT was a cool bike, although the lash in the shaft driveline was noticeable, as was the torque pull when you blip the throttle (normal for a boxer motor, I believe).
